All instructors want students to become proficient at thinking logically,
solving problems, and making decisions. The focus of this session will
be ideas and tools for creating learning environments that foster thinking
skills for students in all disciplines.
Specific topics will include
- varied definitions of critical thinking
- how course structure and active learning can promote thinking skills
- how we can assess thinking skills effectively
Participants will explicitly identify important disciplinary thinking skills
that students should possess and then devise specific active learning strategies
and assessment techniques to help learners extend their abilities within
